100th Day Celebration!

So, we are 100 days smarter! That's what my calendar says anyway! We had a great time celebrating the 100th day of school last week! You can click on the pictures of the packs we used from various TpT stores and go directly to them!
First, the Littles entered through a curtain of fringe (aka cut butcher paper) and started journal writing with the prompt: I want 100 ____.  They had some interesting answers- candy, trains, cars, swim suits!!

Next the Littles practiced counting to 100 with our daily calendar routine.  You can find the SMARTboard calendar that we use at A Teacher's Touch. This calendar is designed by a teacher in my district and it is great for building skills throughout the year.  Make sure you check the video links, because you may need to link them to YouTube if you don't have the same videos downloaded.

We read a story... 100th Day Worries (you can find it and other suggestions in my Amazon Carousal in my sidebar over there on the right).  We then worked on our 100th day crowns! Did I mention we love anything we can wear on our heads? Those things, over the past year, may have included crowns, sentence strip hats, sight words, math cards, bag of books... let's just leave it at we LOVE things on our head. Here is where we got our lovely crowns from:

 

After lunch, the Littles got a chance to practice tracing their numbers to 100.   After all of that practice they counted and colored 100 dots on the number 100 coloring sheet.  What is it with the Littles and their obsession love of coloring dots?!? Here is tracing numbers to 100:

Next, I had the students look at pictures of old people senior citizens and we filled out the chart in the 100th day pack from Dragonflies In First .  I had already prepared their 100 year old pictures using the android app called Make Me Old. They wrote using the writing template in this pack:

Later we read another 100th day book (again, check the Amazon Carousal on the right) and set out to count our 100th day snack! We sorted each snack we found in our snack bag and counted them... and guess what?? There were 10 snacks with 10 of each one! WoW, that teacher 100th day snack fairy sure was smart! So, we practiced counting by 10's and packed up our snack to take home!

So, that's how we spent our 100th day of school! It was a great day and lots of fun! I hope you find these ideas and resources useful. If you choose to use some of these resources, please leave these wonderful teachers some feedback!
